Page Views != Page Impressions

    My stats say one of my sites gets about 700 page views a day, but Google only registers 150 page impressions.
    Why is this?
    My ads are TV related, and I'm sure there are enough targeted advertisers out there to fill more than 150 page impressions. And only like 0.5% of internet users have Javascripts disable, or so I've heard.

    Does anyone have any explanations?

    Well, I think an impression is registered even if it shows a PSA.

    Google Analytics and AdSense claim I only have about 60% of the traffic that my server logs state. Come join the club.
    Either I am just getting hit by SEs that much every day or the stats are worthless. I have no idea.

    I actually found what the problem was: I was using a Custom Channel for the site instead of a URL channel, and half of the ads on the site weren't assigned to that Custom Channel.
    I hope you made the same mistake Icheb. ;)

    I'm intrigued now though, do PSA impressions count as page impressions?

    My Analytics and AdSense stats show just about the same amount of page views per day, so it's not related to AdSense channels or the like.

    Better start your own thread instead of hijacking this thread.
